It was a tough day for both the Virginia men’s and women’s tennis programs at Friday’s ITA Indoor National Championships at the Boar’s Head Sports Club.

Often times, the hardest kind of tennis opponent is the one whose sole focus is keeping the ball in play via high-arcing topspin shots. The points tend to be long, leading to both mental and physical fatigue.

On Sunday, chants of “UVa!” pierced through the Michael D. Case Tennis Center moments before Virginia’s Dom Inglot prepared to return a second serve from Baylor’s David Galic.
